Lion’s Cooking Show

If we are being honest we already have a version of this recipe on the blog – but Lion really wanted me to make a video of him making these muffins. What can I say – as long as the kitchen is in tolerable order I’m generally happy to make a mess of it cooking…

Meal Planning & Prep

If I’m being entirely honest I have a real love hate relationship with cooking, meal planning, and meal prep. I love cooking and trying new recipes – but I hate having to come up with something and be creative at the end of a long and stressful day. Cue the awe inspiring meal plan! Meal…

Pesto Presto!

Today in the Wee Laird’s Kitchen we took a little culinary trip to one of my favorite places – Italy! I have made pesto many times over the years – with many variations on the traditional pesto recipe – but Lion’s recipe today might just be one of my favorites. Simple, quick, and super delicious!…

Oven Roasted Purple Sweet Potatoes and Rainbow Carrots

Both Bear and Lion will eat an adult size portion of these lovely slightly sweet, slightly earthy, & delightfully seasoned beauties. So today when I asked Lion what we should make for dinner I wasn’t at all…
